The Storm

Starting Date : April 14, 1996





It started just like any other day at the castle perched on top of the Eerie Building. Xanatos was alone for the

weekend and had just started in on his workload, when he overheard the news reporter telling of a large storm headed directly

Manhatten. "Oh good," thought Xanatos, "Mabye it'll blow away Demona.

"Now that's not very nice." An amused voice sounded nearby.

"Who's there?" Xanatos asked jumping slightly.

"Heh, can't even recognize me? Last time I was here you tried to kill me." Before Xanatos's gaze a figure gradually

emerged.

"Oberon." said David chillingly, "What are you doing here?" ge asked as he reached under his desk for the laser gun hidden

there.

"You won't be needing that. Puck asked me to tell you that he and the others might be delayed for a couple of days.

Apparently he can't get any one on the phone here......... And judging by the storm outside, I can see why."

"Hmph, you've delivered your message, now leave." spat Xanatos as he stood up.

"By Avalon, are you always so jumpy? Or is this just of fluke of the storm outside?" Oberon asked as he walked up to

stand beside Xanatos. "It doesn't seem like this storm I going to end anytime soon. It could get ugly."

"Hnn……"

As if Oberon's words had been prophetic a large bolt of lightening careened across the sky, striking the Eerie Building causing several electronic devices around the room to start emitting high-pitch, shrieking whines.

"Oh boy, that was a doozy. I think I felt the floor shake." David said as he stood up from the side of his desk. "Are you oka….y….?" he asked, looking over at Oberon only to find him with his back arched, hands clamped tightly over his ears.

"Ahhhhhhhh, make it stop! Make it stop!" Oberon screamed shaking his head wildly from side to side.

"Make what stop?" Xanatos shouted over the din, not liking what he was seeing.

"That noise. My…..head……ohhh…………" breathed Oberon as he started to collapse against the window.

Hurridly Xanatos shut off all the equipment in the room, plunging them into darkness. Making his way quickly back to Oberon he put his hand on his shoulder and lightly shook him, asking, "Better?"

"Much." Gasped out Oberon.

"What happened?" asked Xanatos, curious.

"My ears….that noise…..too high….. Oh, I think I need to go home now before I get ill." And with that Oberon disappeared leaving a very confused David Xanatos behind.

"Hmmm, I'll have to ask Owen about that ." he said and walked over to his desk and sat down. "I'll have to ask him."
